RECENT ADVANCES IN CARDIOLOGY: 16 -Rowlands, Clarke

Despite the near simultaneous, worldwide availability of published research data, the need for upto-date review publications is stronger than ever. Professionals can no longer cope, even within the limits of their own specialist field, with the tidal wave of information and recommendations available to them on the internet. Quite apart from contemporary research data, guidelines (which once were considered to retain their influence for prolonged periods) are now updated at increasingly short intervals, and there are often variations in the recommendations from different authorities.

In this environment it is extremely helpful for the professional to have access to considered reflections from experts, and this has been our primary aim in producing this book.

The topics chosen are all highly relevant to the practising clinician and all of the authors are recognised authorities in their respective fields.
